Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Breastfeeding may be natural, but it is not always instinctive. The 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic guide to breastfeeding, beloved by a generation of women, has been completely revised and updated to provide even more practical, reassuring advice and support for today's expectant and nursing mothers. Easy-reference survival guides help identify and resolve problems at each stage. An appendix on drug safety is a unique feature among breastfeeding books.




Rating: - Valuable book for Breastfeeding Moms!
I found this book to be very useful. The appendix of drugs that are safe to take while breastfeeding is invaluable when you are sick, but scared to take anything for fear of hurting your baby. This book has informative sections on latching baby on, solutions to common problems such as sore nipples, as well as information on newborn jaundice. I would recommend this book for any breastfeeding or pregnant mom!

I am a first time mother and the only woman in my circle of family and friends to ever considering breastfeeding. While expecting I read this book cover-to-cover. I knew what problems to expect and was able the head them off at the pass. I can happily report that thanks to this book alone I have been nursing my baby gril for 8 months without a hitch. Whenever I might see a problem coming this book had prepared me for it and taught me how to avoid it. Breastfeeding is the most amazing thing I have ... Read More

Rating: - Very helpful
This book was so helpful to me. I took it with me to the hospital and referenced it so many times during the first week it was unbelievable. I recently had a clogged milk duct and read what to do in the book. I then called a lactation consultant and what they told me was exactly what I had already been doing from the book. Very helpful; would highly recommend to anyone who really wants to breastfeed.

Rating: - Buy This Book if You Plan to Breastfeed
Someone gave me this book 3 weeks into breastfeeding for the first time and I wished I had it before the baby was born! Breastfeeding is such a personal, complex and at times challenging process. This book is a great resource that walks you through many questions you will have about breastfeeding. The more information the better and this book is a great start.

Pros- A great "all in one" resource
Cons- Book does not contain everything on breastfeeding

Rating: - The MOST COMPREHENSIVE Breastfeeding Resource!
This is the only book you need to breastfeed your baby. Eleven months later I still open this book often to find information on ALL topics. Particularly helpful is the quite comprehensive drug appendix.
